Swakopmund jetty

In Swakopmund, Namibia, the landmark, WWI-era iron jetty reopened in August 2010 after extensive reconstruction.

It was closed in 1998 due to safety concerns, and one section was reopened in 2008. A local businessman has now restored the second half of the jetty and opened a seafood restaurant at the end of the 262-meter-long pier.

The jetty has a promenade on one side, with the other side for fishing. Entry is free.
